EFFECTS OF TV ON CHILDREN

Interpersonal communication is when we engage in communication with another person, to
gain information about them. This type of communication is different from other forms of
communication in that there are few participants involved, occurs between people who have
know each other for some time, view each other as unique individuals and not as people
who are simply acting out social situations. The interactants are in close physical
proximity to each other, many sensory channels used, and feedback is immediate. People
wish to engage in interpersonal communication with other individuals for many different
reasons. With interpersonal communication we can better predict how the other person will
think, feel, and act if we know who they are. To gain this information we can do it
passively, actively, or interactively. Interpersonal communication helps us understand
each other better establish an identity, and to express and receive interpersonal needs.
